Xlinx

Xilinx and ZF Friedrichshafen AG (ZF), a global leader and Tier-1 automotive supplier in driveline and chassis technology as well as active and passive safety technology, today announced a new strategic collaboration in which Xilinx technology will power ZF’s highly-advanced artificial intelligence (AI)-based automotive control unit, called the ZF ProAI, to enable automated driving applications.

ZF is using the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC platform to handle real-time data aggregation, pre-processing, and distribution, as well as to provide compute acceleration for the AI processing in ZF’s new AI-based electronic control unit. ZF selected this adaptable, intelligent platform because it provides the processing power scalability and flexibility essential for the ZF ProAI platform to be customized for each of its customer’s unique requirements.

ZF

ZF will hold a news conference on Monday at 1:00 pm. ZF Friedrichshafen AG will unveil its next generation of ProAI, an artificial- intelligence-capable electronic controller, at CES during its press conference. The innovation is the world’s most powerful onboard automotive computer and will be an essential part of autonomous driving as the industry moves forward toward level 4 and 5 functions that must navigate a huge number of use cases on global roadways.

ZF will also discuss its role to enable ride-hailing serves as they become increasingly automated in the future and highlight its full sensor suite of radar, camera and lidar as well as interior observation systems that monitor all aspects of driving and the interior environment of the vehicle.

Also featured will be ZF’s expansion of its digitalization efforts and Internet of Things platform, which address the many challenges and megatrends facing the industry, including fleet coordination, over-the-air updates, cybersecurity, payments on the go and more.

At CES this year, ZF is highlighting its powerful sensor portfolio which can more accurately detect vehicle surroundings – both inside and outside of the vehicle – and thereby help to enhance the safety of conventional and automated vehicles. The resulting architecture – including a new, full-range radar, solid state LiDAR, innovative cameras and acoustic sensors – are combined with supercomputers from the ZF ProAI product family to create a powerful overall sensor system.

The sensor set comprises ZF’s latest generation cameras, radars, LiDAR and acoustic sensors, and – in terms of software – tools and algorithms for detection and classification, and vehicle control, that are hosted in the ZF ProAI central control unit. The entire architecture is designed to address demanding automotive requirements including extreme temperatures and vibrations. These highly advanced sensor systems are also important in helping to comply with future safety regulations and consumer safety ratings (e.g., NCAP).

Fitted to the front of the vehicle, ZF’s high-resolution Full-Range Radar features superior detection performance in the four dimensions of speed, distance, angular resolution and height. This high-performance 77-GHz sensor is designed for premium ADAS applications, and highly automated and autonomous driving (Level 3 and higher). Like other radar systems, it transmits electromagnetic (radio) waves to target and determine the range, angle or velocity of objects (echo principle). The high-resolution sensor, however, can also more accurately measure height to create a three-dimensional view of the environment. The radar can work – even in most poor weather, low light and bad visibility conditions – similar to ZF’s Medium-Range Radars, which provide a range of ADAS function.

ZF’s S-Cam4 highlights the further development and expansion of the S-Cam portfolio. With a 100-degree field-of-view and a 1.7-megapixel High Dynamic Range (HDR) image sensor, the technology offers high performance when it comes to detecting pedestrians and cyclists in a city environment. The cameras can also include ZF’s advanced longitudinal and transverse control algorithms for Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), as well as other functions.

Remote Camera Heads, which can be installed in very small housings, can help to detect the surrounding vehicle environment and stream video to the driver, or classify objects. It is possible to combine up to 12 cameras to build a 360-degree view of the vehicle’s surroundings. For each remote camera, manufacturers can choose sensor resolutions of between 1.2 and 8 megapixels, and fields-of-view between 28 and 195 degrees. This means that a multi-camera system can be tailored to meet the customer’s specific requirements.

Highly automated driving will give vehicle occupants more freedom of movement inside the vehicle. A 3D interior camera from ZF can enable new comfort and safety benefits. As part of the ZF Interior Observation System (IOS), it can collect real-time information about the size, position and posture of passengers. As a result, the performance of various occupant safety systems in the vehicle can be adapted in such a way that in an emergency, the impact of a collision can be better mitigated. Driver monitoring will also play a key role in transfer scenarios between human driver and autopilot; the IOS can also determine whether the driver has his hands on the steering wheel, is actively steering the vehicle and has his head facing the road.

With Sound.AI, ZF also helps enable cars to hear. Among other things, the system analyzes siren signals to determine what kind of emergency vehicle is approaching, and from which direction (siren detection). The system display can also provide the driver with important information including instructions such as “pull over to the right” or “move to an emergency lane”. Fully automated vehicles from Level 4 upwards can independently perform maneuvers like this.

At CES 2019, ZF will unveil a steering wheel and pedal-free robo-taxi to show how its technologies enable new forms of urban mobility. Users can hail the taxi using their smartphone or tablet and it will maneuver autonomously to pick them up. It can then chauffeur them to where they wish to go.

ZF ProAI RoboThink, the high-performance supercomputer for autonomous driving is designed to process the vast amount of sensor data, translate it into a coherent picture and derive the right commands for the vehicle. These commands are then implemented by connected ZF systems that enable vehicle motion control and enhanced safety – including chassis, drive, steering system, brakes or occupant safety systems.

ZF has also been hard at work networking its intelligent mechanical systems with its cloud-based platform for mobility services. It will be possible to integrate functions across all kinds of providers, for instance for ride-hailing, innovative delivery services and fleet management. The vehicle software can be updated via the cloud.

ZF will present its cross-sector networking expertise at CES 2019. ZF has a strategic partnership with Microsoft Azure: Open ZF IoT platform as common basis for smart digital products.
